The bedrooms are located on the ground floor, with the entrance opening into a spacious hallway.

Wooden stairs lead up to a first-floor open-plan living space, which enjoys lovely views and includes a wood-burner, dining table and chairs, comfortable seating, a smart TV, and a well-equipped kitchen with electric oven and hob, microwave, dishwasher, fridge and freezer. A basket of logs, kindling and matches is provided for the wood-burner in cooler months. Outside, the cottage has a patio area with a picnic bench and BBQ, overlooking a beautiful shared garden with dramatic moorland views beyond. Guests can also make use of a children's play area with a climbing frame, wendy house and picnic table within the grounds. There is ample parking close to the cottage, and access to a shared laundry room with washing machine and dryer. Bed linen and towels are provided. GBP 20 of electricity and heating costs are included in the price, which is more than enough for a week-long stay, and electric heaters are fitted throughout.

Christmas is a magical time to visit, with the wood-burner roaring and cottages available to decorate as guests please.

Brushford is a peaceful village on the southern edge of Exmoor National Park in Somerset, just two miles from the market town of Dulverton. The village sits where the rivers Barle and Exe converge in a beautiful wooded valley. The parish church of St Nicholas dates from the 15th century and includes the Herbert memorial chapel designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens. Brushford has a village hall, playground, and a friendly community of families and retirees -- a tranquil base from which to explore all that Exmoor has to offer. Dulverton, a short stroll or two-minute drive away, is known as the 'southern gateway to Exmoor' and provides an excellent range of amenities. You will find independent shops, a late-opening supermarket, butcher, greengrocer, post office, chemist, and a cash machine. There are award-winning restaurants, traditional pubs, tea rooms, and a fish and chip shop. Exmoor House -- the headquarters of the Exmoor National Park Authority -- is in Dulverton and features exhibitions and a gallery. The Guildhall Heritage and Arts Centre in Dulverton is well worth a visit, with free admission and fascinating exhibitions on local history including a working model of the original Dulverton railway station. The town sits between the rivers Barle and Exe, and the stunning Tarr Steps ancient clapper bridge is just five miles to the northwest -- one of the most popular and iconic landmarks in the whole of Exmoor.
